Pompeii

Song is from All Hands on the Bad One CD/LP, which is available at Kill Rock Stars.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

and then one fine morning
(what you want)
she woke, she knew
(you might never have)
one long look at her life
(wait for it)
it was you
(until it forms a scar)

come hell or high water
her heart was made
no friend and no lover
will get in the way

for six long years
(take your time)
happiness spoke
(no hurry up)
but then the time was up
(change your mind)
the spell was broke
(go back to the start)

she said that I have done
to get my way
what I have done
to get this day

fortune weary love (2x)
baby don't you dare give up on me now (2x)

you're gonna find out
you're gonna get low
it's gonna darken your soul
you're gonna find out
you're gonna get low
it's gonna darken your soul
you're gonna fall down
you're gonna grow old
it's gonna darken your soul

fortune weary love
fortune weary love
baby don't you dare give up on me now
baby don't you dare give up on me now
